Can I still increase my milk supply?

Question

Hello I EBF and have been without a pump for a few months because the one I had broke. I finally got a new one and am wondering how to pump and breastfeed I feel when I pump that my daughter isn’t getting enough when she nurses. 
So what are some ways I can increase my milk supply? 
If you do how do you pump and breastfeed?

Answer

I pump a few minutes after feeding. I don’t get much maybe like 1-2 oz but it’s enough to boost my supply a little. Once my baby goes to bed that’s when I really get all my pumping in. She goes to bed at 7pm so I’ll pump for like 15-20 mins every hour until I go to bed at 10pm. If you’re trying to build a stash I’d really recommend getting a haakaa too. I get most of my stash that way and the haakaa also helps keep supply up.

Answer

I started pumping a couple hours after my daughter went to bed for the night. It’s the only time I find I can pump without interrupting my daughters feeding times. I was advised to try power pumping to get my supply up. Try googling power pumping. It’s basically 10mins on each side. 5 mins break and then start again. Do this 3 times. Then it took me about 3 nights of power pumping until I was getting enough supply at night so I could just pump once to maintain it.

Answer

Milk supply is all about supply and demand so increasing demand should increase supply.

Answer

I also just added pumping into my schedule! My little one is EBF too. You could either pump for a few extra minutes at the end of a nursing session, and/or pump while your little one is napping. I personally like to pump in the morning after feeding my son, then pump during his afternoon nap, & then again about an hour or  two after his bedtime.
Hope this helps!
